High school advanced vocabulary quiz

📚 Quick Study Guide

• ⚛️ Atomic Structure: The atom's nucleus contains protons (positive charge) and neutrons (no charge), while electrons (negative charge) orbit the nucleus.
• 🧪 Chemical Reactions: Involve the rearrangement of atoms and molecules. Key concepts include reactants, products, equilibrium, and reaction rates.
• ⚖️ Stoichiometry: The quantitative relationship between reactants and products in a chemical reaction. Based on the law of conservation of mass.
• 🌡️ Thermochemistry: The study of heat changes in chemical reactions. Key terms: enthalpy ($\Delta H$), endothermic ($\Delta H > 0$), exothermic ($\Delta H < 0$).
• 🧫 Acids and Bases: Acids donate protons (H+), while bases accept protons. pH scale measures acidity/alkalinity (0-14). Strong acids/bases completely dissociate in water.
• 🚀 Chemical Kinetics: The study of reaction rates and the factors that affect them (temperature, concentration, catalysts).
• 💡 Organic Chemistry Fundamentals: Focuses on carbon-containing compounds. Key concepts: functional groups, isomers, and nomenclature.
